The PU-CH-01 is normally provided to helicopter crews in pilot and loadmaster versions (above) - however in some rare occasions the pilot version can also be used in fixed-wing aircraft.
Pictured right is a PU-CH-01 "pilot version" used on Pilatus PC-7 (Fuel stop in Malmö during the Swiss AF PC-7 TEAM's transfer to the 2012 Linköping Airshow).
Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, where the Pilotenmesser 21 is integrated into the ejection seat’s survival kit, helicopter pilots carry it attached to the left-hand side of their life jacket by means of a plastic sheath.
